BACKGROUND:
The San Carlos Airport Runway Pavement Rehabilitation Project addresses pavement condition issues identified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the San Carlos Airport (Airport) Runway Safety Action Plan report. The Project will reconstruct the outermost edges of the runway and connector taxiways where longitudinal cracking has developed to prevent additional cracking. This Project also includes the application of a preservative deal, crack sealing, and re-striping of the runway and connector taxiways (approximately 50,000 square yards) to preserve the life of the existing pavement.
On April 21, 2020, your Board adopted Resolution No. 077373, which adopted plans and specifications for the San Carlos Airport Runway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project), including conformance with Federal prevailing wage scale requirements, and authorized the Director of Public Works to call for sealed bids to be received.
DISCUSSION:
On Wednesday, June 10, 2020, bids were accepted for this Project and subsequently referred to C&S Engineers for checking and recommendation. The bid of:
Interstate Grading & Paving, Inc.
128 S. Maple Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94080
at $814,849 was the lowest responsive bid received for the Project. The Engineer’s Estimate was $1,389,310. A summary of the bids received is attached as Exhibit “A.”
The Department obtained a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Categorical Exclusion for this Project. In addition, this Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines for Implementation. The Airport filed the CEQA Notice of Exemption after your Board adopted Resolution No. 077373 on April 21, 2020, adopting the Project’s plans and specifications and authorizing the advertisement for bids.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will be financed using Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) grant funds issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The CARES Act provides funds to increase the federal share to 100 percent for airport grants already planned for FY 2020-21.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
